How much steering angle is typically lost when converting to the tubular LCAs? The steering arm stops hit the LCAs and it looks like I've lost some turning radius. Do the GW steering arms give better turning radius? Can the stock pieces be modified?

And this may be a stupid question, but will the single piston disc brakes fit inside a 15" wheel? Looks like it's awful close to this weld pie cutter. Due to budget constraints, I'm likely going to go to wider 15" pro stars for the time being. I've got 3.5 inches from the bead lip to the outer tie rod. Everything else is farther away with this 205/75-15 on a 4 or 5 inch rim.

Check the pics. The first one shows the wheel cranked over to the stop. The second is the passenger side view from behind the wheel.
